Think I've only seen Fantastic Mr. Fox (which i don't know if I'd count as underrated) and Only Lovers Left Alive (which definitely is). Heard of some of them but I'll have to check more of them out!

I'm certain that Fantastic Mr Fox is what broke Wes Anderson, and ever since that he's been a parody of himself.
Yeah, it was weird going into Isle of Dogs and it felt at times like it were a remake of Mr. Fox. But I also think that Wes Anderson's reputation is probably what breaks him. He makes comedy...
Yeah, it was weird going into Isle of Dogs and it felt at times like it were a remake of Mr. Fox. But I also think that Wes Anderson's reputation is probably what breaks him. He makes comedy movies. They are supposed to be funny. They don't all need to make you think and feel profound things.

Of the ones I've seen:
Master and Commander: A friends favorite and it is really great. Shame we didn't get a series.
The Man from UNCLE: Dumb fun.
Tinker Tailor Solider Spy: I watched it and I couldn't honestly tell you what happened. Felt very slow and confusing and I normally like that stuff.
The thing I hate with lists like these is that it's just the title. Which is not enough to go on. I wish they would give a brief one sentence description of WHY this movie deserves to be on here....
The thing I hate with lists like these is that it's just the title. Which is not enough to go on. I wish they would give a brief one sentence description of WHY this movie deserves to be on here. Is it a gut wrenching story about a family's loss or a unique premise or setting that hasn't been done before. Or an example of the best of its type of genre.
Not everyone is going to like every film and I guarantee any random person you picked wouldn't like every single movie on this list. I would be surprised to find a single person who loved every single one of these films if they watched them all.
There's plenty of films people swear by and I watch and hate it or films that the majority hate but I love. People have different opinions and titles aren't enough to tell if it's something worth looking into for your personal tastes.
I don't just mean the description of the movie. I meant the reason why someone is saying this movie is worth watching. What makes this movie worthy of being on this list and worth people giving it...
I don't just mean the description of the movie. I meant the reason why someone is saying this movie is worth watching. What makes this movie worthy of being on this list and worth people giving it a shot. Sometimes the hook in the description might be enough, but usually it isn't.
I'm not sure if you saw this or are looking at the IMDB links posted in the comments but each movie has commentary written by the film critic at Time in the article!

I'm surprised to see Shortbus on this list. Frankly it's one of those movies that I'm always surprised to see other people remembering it, not because it isn't memorable, but because it was such a strange niche film. The only reason I got to see it was because it came out at the peak of my piracy days - though I did purchase a physical version later.
It's interesting that the author describes it as feeling like a relic of a lost time, because I don't think it was ever truly a product of its time either. It was a product that came up naturally amongst people who were largely part of the Radical Faeries - gay hippies, essentially - and was therefore always outside of the norms of society. But I think that's something that makes it timeless. It may be a product of the time it was made, but it remains one of the most earnest and open explorations on what we need from our relationships ever to be put to film. And it has one of the best soundtracks to boot!
It's also really strange that Monkeybone is on this list. That movie was really terrible and was a rather famous flop for decades. Also, why put hamlet on the list and not it's sequel?
